Here’s a neat
little tip that will save you a lot of time. You can drag and drop
text or graphics between differentfiles or
even different applications. Say you have some text in one
Word file and you want to place it in another word file. Here’s an example -
follow these steps:

1. Open the
Word file that has text you want to move. And open a
blank Word document.

2.
Select the text (drag over it to highlight it).

3. Now hold
down the Control (Ctrl) key and drag the
highlighted text to the Task Bar at the bottom of the
screen over the blank (Untitled )document. (Don't let
the mouse button go yet - read on!)

4. The
blank (Untitled) document will open and you can move the
mouse to the top of the document and release
the mouse button. The text is placed in the blank document.

NOTE:
By holding down the Control key, you have left a copy of the
selected text in the original document. If you don’t hold down
the Control key, you will move the selected text from the
original document and place it in the blank document.

You can do the
same for graphics – hold down the Controlkey and drag the graphic to the Task Bar over
the Blank document and move the mouse cursor
to the location you want it to be place.

Now
here’s a bonus.

You can also
drag and drop between different applications. For example, If
there is some text (or a picture) on a webpage you want to put
in a Word document, just select the text and the webpage and drag it to a blank
(Untitled) document (or any document) in the Task Bar. The same goes for
pictures on a webpage – drag and drop them to a Word document.
Note – if the text or picture you want to drag is a
link, you will get the link placed in the document instead of the
actual text or picture. Experiment with this.

You can also
drag and drop pictures from your My Pictures folder right to a
Word Document. That’s very cool! For that matter, you can drag and drop
pictures from any folder to a Word document.

Try some of
these drag and drop techniques – save yourself a lot of time
when copying text or graphics between different files or different applications.
